TPTCC 2.2 vs 2.1, other notes...

Sorry, folks, been away for awhile with a system rebuild, just put all my newsgroups back up. I think you all got the answers you needed anyway, but if you didn't... You can run anything version 2+ and it is compatible with each other. The numbering scheme I designed that way for a reason. Minor number changes (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) will all run with each other. Major number changes (1.3, 2.0) will not. We will actually have a 2.3 out in a week or so with a few more tweeks on the 3do shells, some more things that we found at the last minute. We'll supply it as a patch (as 2.2 was) and then make the full download at 2.3 if there are no more problems. The next major change will of course be our final LoD/FPS tweaks and full damage. We are currently making good progress on that, but do not have a timeframe as to when it will be done. Some people commented that they got worse FPS with v2.2 than with v2.1. I find that highly unlikely (although as with anything on computers, probably not impossible) and that they most likely had something else wrong with their installation, or went to a track that had higher fps than what they originally tested with. It would be almost impossible to not gain FPS with v2.2, as it has probably a good 200 less polys at closeup distances, and at long distances it has 500-600 less polys per vehicle. Cheers! Jan

No they did not, neither did PWF, although they disguised it abit more. FWIU, any fix of that problem would have to come from Papyrus themselves. While they 'said' they wanted to support the mod community, I haven't heard any whispers of any more patching being done have you? dave henrie
